Reasons for Judgment — Abella.J. (Rothstein, Moldaver, Karaksatsanis and Wagner JJ. concurring)

Abella J. — We do not, with respect, see any basis for interfering with the reasons of Gillese J.A. and, in particular, with her conclusion that the trial judge made no error in determining that the minimal probative value of the proposed evidence was substantially outweighed by its prejudicial effect.
The appeal is accordingly dismissed.
